The pitt nova game was quite epic, and in my opinion, the pundits were primarily mad that UCon wasn’t playing UNC for the title. Instead of a game that matched teams with similar levels of experience and capacity, we all tuned in (and most eventually tuned out) of a very lopsided game.

Still, if you go BY THE NUMBERS, it should’ve been an impressive game. A record for the highest score in the first half, breaking the record for most steals by a single individual, for periods of time 70% shooting from the floor… these all suggest an amazing game. If MJ and the Bulls had performed at a level like this, it wouldn’t matter if they took the mailman home in 4 games, the people would’ve loved it.

But people have the misconception that college ball isn’t for showcasing talent (which is does to a better degree than the NBA in my perspective), but instead is a massive gambling opportunity. As a result, they want to have the hand decided on the river, or they feel gyped.

PS: Why did you use the word “nor” when you did. Kinda feels needlessly elitist without beneficial functionality, even for your standards.

Sir, I played with Greivis Vasquez. I knew Greivis Vasquez. Greivis Vasquez was a friend of mine. Senator, you’re no Greivis Vasquez.

Oh, and Greivis Vasquez is still a punk.

And the years of UCLA weren’t predictable?? The sports media just hates the ACC for some reason. Just because the Big East can’t win the big games! And anytime Duke fails it’s amazing A win for UNC was a win for staying in college and having a time as a student before going pro. Besides these days, college ball and the tournament are bigger than the NBA.

Wake Forest was the most overrated team in the nation. They had talent but no team chemistry whatsoever. I can’t believe you picked them to go to the Final Four.

(Yes I’m being contentious just for the heck of it).
